I've played a game, and here is my feed back. I'll be assuming that no more features will be added, so I'll providing feed back only on the stuff you guys have worked on thus far and related stuff (or so I'll try): --Ship Designer-- 1. Templates: This is an issue that I haven't mentioned before. Templates were first made available back in DA. When designing a ship, you can choose to also save it as a template, but there is no option to s

Reply to What would be viable copy protection? in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

My thoughts on this issue is, people expect to own things when they spend money to buy something. This applies to licensed software they buy, regardless of the legal technicallities. Although it may be the intellectual property of the company who made it, the customer expects a certain level of convience when they buy something. People would expect to be able to play their Nintendo Wii (or other system) on a Sony TV that they recently purchased. I'm sure that there would be plenty of people u

Reply to GCII 2.0 - Of Starbases and Ships in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Some questions and comments ________________ About the ship editor: -Will there be an option to control the miniturization and/or techs available? I don't know about you, but being able to design ships for the early colony rush (where miniturization can be limited) and early wars (where techs are limited) would be quite handy. Having everything at once can get in my way of designing those ships. -Some ship modules are not easy to determine how advanced the

For instance, if I was the Drengin and I got a hold of the techs for industrial sectors, can I do something with the governers so all my slave pits get replaced by industrial sectors? Can you also stay low tech? Unfoturnately, many mining and planet assist starbase modules are tied in with the factory techs. As suc

Reply to Vision Range in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Maybe the current map is just very foggy. There is a waterfall after all... with plenty of moisture to make things real misty. Given that we can see whole maps without the fog in the preview video, this might be a feature currently locked with the current beta. However, if it were a lava stage (like the one shown in the intro) I would have a few things to say. P.S. If I recall correctly, one of Regulus's powers allows him to continue to see enemy demigo

Reply to [BUG] Creep survives off the edge in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Maybe the devs should rule that any creep that falls off the edge should die instantly (disintegration) to avoid further problems. Assign an area (or several) that should be considered out of bounds if an enemy were to enter. Ofcourse, they devs would have to make sure that the flyers did not kill themselves by flying out of bounds. For the current waterfalls stage, there only one level that all units have to worry about (assuming not all maps are going to be flat), so anyth

Reply to [Suggestion] Option to Downgrade abilities / Adjust abilities in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Looks like my post may need some clarification. About using powers at a lower level: You don't get a skill point refund for selecting a lower level. The basic idea was to use a lower setting to prevent you from over burning energy. Plus, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has every miss clicked something in a game and ended up doing something that would be a stupid move. This downgrade if you will was suggested as a means to negate that mistake. About the UI: I provided a sugge

[Suggestion] Option to Downgrade abilities / Adjust abilities in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

After playing the beta many times I discovered, while I was playing as the Torch Bearer, that some abilities do increase in energy costs as they gain levels. After doing a quick glance at the rest of the demigods, I found that this holds true for most abilities. After doing some number crunching (to figure why I couldn't use some of my "Rain of Ice" as often as I used to), I learned that some abilities can increase in energy demands very quickly. This increase in energy

Reply to Rook towers attack while he is stunned in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

The Rook is a walking fortress with people in it. It would appear that the demigod itself may be stunned, the people inside it clearly are not. Besides, the game lists "several independant weapons" as one of the rooks strengths.

Reply to ToA Noob questions in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I don't bother with regular scouts. They are not very efficient at their job. Too small of sensor radius, too slow, and not enough range, plus they are built upon a such a puny hull. I suggest you design your own ship, a sensor ship. Start with a cargo hull, and add some sensors, engines, and life support. Smaller maps don't need much, since they are quickly searched, as such you might want to favour life support so you can scan everything with your first ship.

Reply to Cheesy fleet tactic in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

My TA 101 guide mentions that fleet support modules will draw the attacks of enemy ships. You may wish to look at it. It would be in the "Fleet support modules" section. [link="https://forums.galciv2.com/310907"]TA 101[/link] However, I was unaware that ships without weapons would not be attacked. I'm going to have to look into this detail and see if this multiplier effect is really the case.

I'm not sure if a solution to this problem has already been found. I've searched the forums, but with no success. Let me fully explain my problem, and what I have tried to do to fix things. Using Impulse, I can only see SINS version 1.09 (or so it says). When playing with the "Show pre-release versions" option, I switch between seeing version 1.05 and 1.09. I've also tried refreshing and other stuff to try to see a new version, but with no success. My latest attempt involved uninstall

No starbase can be expected to survive against a huge hulled ship late in the game as huge hulls can be built in every way, combat wise, superior to starbase.

Reply to weakest race? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I would argue the Yor. Without tech trading, the Yor can't mass produce economic structures, a prerequisite for fully developing planets. You will not have the cash needed to maintain your planets without them let alone building up a military. The best you can do without tech trading is leaving some of your planets empty because otherwise the maintaince costs will probally kill you. You also shouldn't bother researching factory techs because everything later than "collectives" is progre
